You knew it would happen, but with a twist. JEB! 2016 of course will be about love for the exploitation of undocumented workers and Common Core cronyism, but it will also be about "faith and family," big shock. Jeb chose, what else, a small Christian college in Pennsylvania to deliver his only commencement speech this year, urging his captive audience to remain true to their convictions and faith. Not ironically, this same college's incoming president is a former deputy attorney general in the George W. Bush administration, and a professor there, Paul Kengor, is the author of "God and George W. Bush."
Call it the "triangulation of all triangulations," but trying to sell Common Core for Neil Bush and other cronies, guest workers for the Chamber of Commerce, and "family values" to the far right in 2016 might turn out to be like trying to lead a camel through the eye of a needle.
According to the Washington Post, JEB! was paid through the Washington Speakers Bureau to spread the faith at the college. Both the school and a Bush advisor refused to disclose the amount.
